Proud Partner of The Write Network - helping writers do things write

When I first considered writing a Blog I felt overwhelmed, but Stimulating Conversation gave me the help I needed to feel confident enough to begin this step in my writing career. Both Renee and Naomi gave clear explanations of the steps and options available to me when I visited their office. I especially like using the "Analytics" to keep track of my progress in increasing my following and audience. I highly recommend Stimulating Conversations to help you get your Blog off the ground and working for you.

She is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to social web marketing so you couldn’t be in better hands should you choose to work with Renee and her team.

Renee of Stimulating Conversation has had to drag me kicking and screaming into this realm of marketing my novels. But with each tightening of her grip around my ankles, she's showed that she and her team know what to do, and how to help me (and other authors) get the word out about their books.

Business and financial plans are essential to success, whether you can write like John Grisham or not. Promote your book and yourself: that takes planning, commitment and a budget: both in time and money. You need great partners, like Renee, Naomi, Kendyll and Chelsea at Stimulating Conversations, to get you going and planning.

Renee is a delight to work with. I have worked with her using most of the services that her firm offers. We are currently in the process of building a huge website for an online newspaper, and I am very impressed with the knowledge that is at her fingertips. And, I have to say no matter how much pressure she is under with deadlines, she always has a cheery voice and is willing to take my calls.

As a client, I am extremely impressed with the amount of usable information you have available on your website. I found it to be a valuable tool for me. I can't thank you enough for the professional work you did on my video/trailer and website; you really can tell you have passion for your work.

Coach Bruce Benko

author of: The Gymnastics of Love & Discipline, A Parental Template for Giving Children a Voice

Using the team at Stimulating Conversation helped me get a quality product in a website in a short period of time. The other important component for me is the responsiveness if I have a problem. Renee and her team have gone above and beyond to accommodate us. www.angelacaughlin.com

Publishers' Program: a collaborative effort for author success


Previously we have marketed our author website services primarily to authors directly. After meeting with many publishers, a problem common to many was identified; they need to help their clients create personalized, user-friendly websites.

Our goal is to help authors be successful, to that end we are offering a new Publishers' Program.

The Publishers' Program allows publishers to offer their clients the opportunity to have a  personalized effective web presence at a discounted rate.

There are two tracts of the Publishers' Program:

  • Program A: Allows your authors to receive a 10% discount on their website when you make the referral.
  • Program B: Allows you, as the publisher to have an author's website developed for your authors at the 10% discount to you, but you establish the charge to your client.


Stimulating Conversation specializes in customized easily maintained author websites. With our Content Management Platform (CMP) authors can update their own website, in real time, on the fly, even from their smart phones. The platform is intuitive, easily taught to your authors. We fully train and provide tech support. Even the most technophobic author will be empowered with the ability to own and control his/her own website.  Each site is custom designed to the author's marketing/brand and specifications, never a template or generic source. We specialize in author websites, so we take the time to ensure that the fundamentals of a website for authors and the publishing industry are met. We are bringing the most cutting edge technology to the publishing world, and packaging it for authors to use successfully.

A key part of our process is assisting the author in understanding the importance of a cohesive plan for their branding, presentation and the need for keeping the site current. We are also very effective at teaching author how to make their online presence a destination and engaging.
